The life stories of characters including Thomas Edison, Madam C. J. Walker, Mark Twain, Percy Julian, Ben Franklin and Harriet Tubman come alive in a unique way through BioViews®. A BioView® is a short biographical story, similar to an interview. These unique stories provide an easy way to learn about amazing people who made major contributions and changed our world.

This is a book about very fascinating person, but the book was not very fascinating. It could be useful for very young pupils to learn about these people. For the grown up listener it gives you the basic information in a very abridged, rather soulless way. I did not like that every entry was in the 'I' form, like it was written by the person himself. Perhaps a good trick if you will capture the attention of young listeners, but I surely did not like to be patronized like this.The only positive result of listening to a book like this, is that you might be encouraged to listen to a real biography.
